What is an Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
An EMP is a compliance framework designed to help businesses identify and manage environmental risks associated with their operations.
Under EPA Victoria guidelines, businesses must demonstrate that they:
- Assess and minimise environmental risks
- Implement environmental governance, risk, and compliance controls
- Maintain a structured approach to environmental monitoring & reporting
A comprehensive EMP or CEMP typically includes:
- Environmental policies & objectives
Site-specific risk assessments - Monitoring programs & compliance reporting
- Risk management measures
Our EMP solutions assist businesses in achieving and remaining compliant while promoting better environmental outcomes.
